Now you've got 50 posts I definitely think you should request access to Soccer. You will be a breath of fresh air to the League of Ireland debates.

EDIT: Why can't I thank you Zaph?! WHY?!?!?!

It's AH, they don't like that sort of thing here.

EDIT: Actually I'm wrong about that, you must have used up your 10 for the day, but it's the thought that counts!

Sorry if I offended you but in my opinion these are great Irish sports people of the current time.

I'm not offended, I was merely picking holes in your increasingly untenable arguments.

I bet if you watched Joe Gamble at Turners Cross every week you would be of the same opinion.

You are seriously telling me that Joe Gamble is in the same class as Liam Brady, Johnny Giles, Shay Given, Packie Bonner, Ray Houghton, Frank Stapleton, Kevin Moran, John Aldridge or Ronnie Whelan, just to name a few off the top of my head. He's not even the best soccer player to come from Cork when he's up against the likes of Roy Keane, Noel Cantwell, Denis Irwin, Stephen Ireland and Charlie Hurley. Take the blinkers off for a moment and you'll see just how ridiculous your argument is.

Stephen Ireland has proved nothing but Joe Gamble has?
Do you watch sports, mr. OP. Sean Og O Hailpin isn't even the best half back in Cork, never mind the country. Kevin Doyle, talent that he is, plays championship football. Joe ****ing Gamble is some eircom league player, who failed to break into a championship side in England for four or so years and had to come home, but apparently he's good enough to play in France?
What is the actual point of your poll?

OP I actually played with and against Joe Gamble on several occasions. Ah the good ol days of the inter-provincial U-17s.

Come to think of it, I have a scrap book with some pics. And pubes.

Why doesn't the OP post this in soccer?

Why does he love Gamble so much?

Why am typing this in a staccato fashion with bold text?

You are parodying the posting style of the op in a sarcastic manner in an attempt to mock him.

I only recognise two of those names. Am I the most non-sportish of the brever?
